Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Mav (talk | contribs) at 00:11, 8 March 2012 (→‎Bhawani Gautam@ne.wiktionary: Done. To expire 8 March 2013.). It may differ significantly from the current version .

This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia projects which do not have a local permissions procedure. Minimum voting requirement are listed here.

Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • If you are requesting adminship or bureaucratship, and your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (index).
  • For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards connect IRC channel. In emergencies, type !steward in the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type @steward for non-urgent help.

Other than requests to remove your own access or emergencies, please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status = <!-- Don't change this line -->
 |domain = <!-- Such as en.wikibooks -->
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}
(your remarks) ~~~~

2. Fill in the values:

  • domain: the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
  • user name: the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). In case you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots in your remarks
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to sign a confidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also sign the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the Office.

Reder@roa-tara.wikipedia

Status: Done

Hi, roa-tara is my home wiki, I count more than 10.000 edits and I'm an admin here by more than two years. I have already passed various elections and reconfirmations but the community isn't large enough to have a good number of votes, so I always had to have a temporary administrator access. I would ask if you can to grant me a permanent access. If you can't, I kindly ask you to renew my access for another year. Thank you in advance. --Reder (talk) 18:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Please leave a note on the community page for this year. As long as there are no opposes, extension should not be an issue. --Jyothis (talk)

On hold until 7 March, see the new vote for this year. Trijnstel (talk) 16:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
extended by one year. Matanya (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

BarkingFish@tpi.wikipedia

Hi again Stewards. As you probably know, I used to be an admin on the Tok Pisin wikipedia, and was so until my resignation for medical and personal reasons last September. I'm now fit and well, getting better by the day, and ready to resume my duties there if you'd be willing to regrant my permissions. Tok Pisin Wikipedia is still a very small wiki, but growing slowly in Human Editors, and I have no doubt that soon, we will be able to wake up the local RFA process. Regards, BarkingFish (talk) 02:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Please wait for a week to get inputs from community if any. --Jyothis (talk) 02:07, 29 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

February 2011 ? That's quite old... I guess he's asking you for a new request, not the old one that expired. -- Quentinv57 (talk) 16:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
On hold until 8 March. (@Quentin, see this edit, he just posted it.) Trijnstel (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Wizardist@be-x-oldwiki

I was approved as administrator in Belarusian (Taraškievica) Wikipedia (my de facto home wiki). I have an almost five years of experience in Wikipedia and our community considers me a good participant to take administrator duties. The discussion of my application can be translated with Google Translate, if needed. Wizardist (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards , or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard . When you give someone oversight access, list them on Oversight.

Removal of access

<translate>

  • If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your account. If you have multiple flags, specify which you want removed. Stewards may delay your request a short time to ensure you have time to rethink your request (see [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|previous discussion]] on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, provide a link to the discussion, with a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. However, as bureaucrats of some wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|separate list of these specific wikis]].
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

NonvocalScream@simplewiki

Status: Done

This user has resigned his flags, deleted his talk page and user page. As such, please remove his bureaucrat flag. He has removed his admin flag but was technically prohibited from removing the rest. Thank you. PeterSymonds (talk) 11:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Please not especially this section. As he dropped his sysop rights, he is no longer eligible for crat rights there. -Barras talk 14:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
Done." Teles (T @ L C S ) 14:46, 4 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

Whenaxis@meta.wikimedia

Status: Not done

Request for 'confirmed' status (see: Meta:Confirmed users) becuase I'm an autoconfirmed user on the English Wikipedia. Whenaxis (talk) 02:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done Stewards cannot grant you this right on metawiki, you'd need a local admin, you could try asking at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat but you would have to show why you actually needed this right :) Snowolf How can I help? 02:25, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
Query Will I automatically become autoconfirmed within 4 days and 10 edits like on the English Wikipedia? Whenaxis (talk) 02:29, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
I believe that is the case, if not, it's most likely only a slightly different amount. Snowolf How can I help? 02:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
Okay. Thank you :) Whenaxis (talk) 02:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
This wiki, like most others, probably only requires 4 days after registration before autoconfirmed is granted. The English Wikipedia is an anomaly. See the last bit on Registered user. Killiondude (talk) 06:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
I was an appropriate place to ask for this permission because meta administrators can not grant it. Ruslik (talk) 09:36, 6 March 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
